Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a unique biological metabolite that is formed in the body after the consumption of ethanol, typically from drinking alcoholic beverages. Reported to be detectable in urine typically from 8-80 hours after ingestion, and 2-36 hours in blood EtG is detectable over a period roughly 5-6 times longer than traditional urine ethanol testing Detectable in oral fluid only a few hours longer than ethanol* EtG has also been isolated in hair follicles *G.Heiseth, B.

The EtG test is a biomarker test that detects the presence of ethyl glucuronide in urine samples. Usually, it is used to monitor alcohol consumption in individuals who are legally prohibited from drinking alcohol by the justice system or restricted from drinking by their employers.
